It shouldn’t have mattered what number was on his sign except for drive by’s perhaps. When I sold my last home, when other Realtors wanted to show it my Realtor didn’t call me. I was contacted by a company that works for all real estate companies so you should have still gotten showings unless there was just no interest. For future reference the 5% I paid my Realtor was well worth avoiding the headaches.

I don’t need someone’s help to sell my car, why do I need someone’s help to sell my home? If someone is smart enough to own and maintain a home, I bet they are smart enough to sell it, too.

If private individuals could list on the MLS, good people like the Rivers could avoid these types of situations.

There really isn’t much of a middle ground in selling property. Either go with a full service broker, or go FSBO and deal with the headaches yourself to save a few bucks. Actually, I’m shocked that they let the situation go as long as they did. I get that it was a second property and they weren’t in a particular rush, but how do you let 4-6 months go by before you start asking questions?

Why didn’t they just select a reputable full-service real estate agent who could have marketed and probably sold their house last year? Penny wise and pound foolish.
